Whether it is with boys or with girls, with friends or with parents, or with best friends or worst enemies, it is always there. It is always there, and there is not a lot anyone can do to change it.
Thats another sentance I need help with.

It went from not hanging out with these people often, to seriously debating whether it was worth being friends with them.
Heres another, just answer what you can. No biggie

because you have the first few parts of the sentence in past tense, the rest of the sentence must also be in the same tense.
as for your second sentence, it is better to put what "it" is for one of those "it"'s...and perhaps the first "it" you have in the sentence to make the sentence sound clearer.

The rule for commas is "when in doubt, leave it out."
For a couple months I handled it well, but THEN it seemed as IF everyone BUT ME knew what was HAPPENING. (wordy)
Boys or girls, friends or parents, best friends or worst enemies, it is always there, and there is not a lot anyone can do to change it. (Not sure what this means. Try to avoid the word "it" in your writing, as it's too ambiguous.)
I did not hang out with these people often, and seriously debated whether being friends with them was worth the hassle.

the 1st sentence should read:
For a couple of months i handled it well, but after that it seemed as though everyone knew what was going on except me.(there was just one comma that needed to be removed because it was an unnecessary pause.
Whether its with boys, girls, friends, parents, best friends, or worst enemies it's always there.
(when you use commas for a series like that you need to keep the wording to a minimal, take out all those with's because it's grammatically incorrect.

I would take out the comma after a couple of months. Leave the one after well, and take out the one after that. You should be good! Go with Chicago's suggestion.

it is asserted as a compound sentence once you're taking 2 autonomous sentence employing co-ordinating conjunctions, yet a comma earlier the coordinators. Conjunctions checklist: for, and, nor, yet, or, yet, so
